This is the descendants of my
great great greatgreat
grandfather, Samuel Parker. I do not have my Parker line traced out of the
United States, yet, as I am still trying to find out who Samuel's parents were.
Many thanks go to Kim Jackson, who has and is still helping me immensely with
this Parker line. If you have any additional information, corrections, comments
or questions, please
contact me.

First Generation

1. Samuel PARKER was born about 1788 in
Pennsylvania. He died 10 Mar 1837 in Washington or Noble Co., Ohio and was
buried in Dexter City Cemetery, Noble Co., Ohio.

Much of the research on Samuel and Nancy's descendants was done
by Kim Jackson.

Samuel married Nancy RUSSELL, daughter of Jeffrey
RUSSELL, on 7 Nov 1814 in Cabell Co., Virginia (now West Virginia). Nancy was
born 1796/1798 in Virginia (now West Virginia). She died 24 Jul 1888 in Ohio and
was buried in Dexter City Cemetery, Noble Co., Ohio.

Per Rich Patten 3/29/04 - Nancy remarried to a man name
Kirkpatrick and is later living with her daughter Mary Jane's family.

"Newburg was once a place of some pretensions, supporting a
store, a tavern, a blacksmith shop and other industries. Now it consists of
about half a dozen houses, and has no stores, and no business except John S.
Parker's wagon shop."

"John S. Parker kept hotel several years. For ten of twelve
years he was engaged in the manufacture of wind-mills here."

3. Lewis Russell PARKER (Samuel) was born
1817/1818 in Ohio. He died 1876 in Alturas, Modoc Co., California.

Kim Jackson - 2003

I believe that our Lewis Parker in Noble Co, Ohio in 1850 is
the same as the Lewis Parker in Siskiyou Co, California in 1860. It appears
that Lewis' first wife Phear died, and he went to California and remarried
Mary. His first child with Mary is Phear, and so appears to be named for Lewis'
first wife. Some of Lewis' children by wife Phear are living with other
families or with relatives in Ohio in 1860.

My great-aunt Ethel Parker said that her grandfather Richard
Henry had a brother Lewis who died in California. I never knew where she got
this information, as she seemed to be researching her Parker roots, just as my
grandmother was. I don't know if this was family lore, or if she had put this
census data together.

The 1860 census gives us the middle initial R for Lewis. The
middle name of Russell comes from family information found on LDS website,
Ancestry files.

Lewis married (1) Phear SANFORD, daughter of Robinson
SANFORD and Jane UNKNOWN, about 1838 in Ohio. Phear was born about 1819 in Ohio
or Lincoln Co., Maine. She died 1851 in prob. Monroe Co., Ohio.

Kim Jackson - 2003

I believe Phear, wife of Lewis Parker in 1850 census, is
Phear Sanford This is based on their oldest child being named Sanford; and per
an ancestry.com file, Robinson Sanford had a child Phear Sanford who was of the
right age to be Lewis' wife.

Note: the Rowlands family which two of Lewis' brothers
married into, also had a child named for Robinson Sanford.

They had the following children:

18 M i. Sanford R PARKER was
born about 1839 in Ohio.

+ 19 M ii. Charles R PARKER was
born about 1840 and died after 1880.

+ 20 M iii. Welcome H PARKER was
born Feb 1842 and died after 1910.

21 F iv. Nancy J PARKER was
born about 1846 in Ohio.

22 M v. George C PARKER was
born about 1849 in Missouri.

23 F vi. Mary S PARKER was
born about May 1850 in Missouri.

Lewis also married (2) Mary FOGARTY after 1851. Mary
was born 1828 in New York. She died 1919 in Alturas, Modoc Co., California.

Co., Indiana and was buried in Old Trinity Springs Cemetery, Martin Co.,
Indiana.

CENSUS-1850: 15 year old Henry Parkar living in the household
of Western and Mary Jane WARREN (brother-in-law and sister)

OTHER: Richard Henry Parker was born 1832-1835 based on census
records. He came to Martin Co, Indiana from Washington Co, Ohio between
1864-1866 based on birthplaces of his children. [kj]

OTHER: Excerpt from letter written by Aunt Addie Parker Clark
to Minnie Parker Smith - "they first lived near John Murray and Permelia, 6
miles south of Shoals. My brother George died there. They moved to a log house
on a hill above the -old- Pen Ridge schoolhouse. I was born there. From there
we moved up on Indian Creek, until we got the house built. Richard Parker hewed
the logs and built that house."

OTHER: R.H. brother Elmer or one of his brothers had son Elmer
[kj - old note, no information on where it came from]

OTHER: Had a general store in Indian Springs, Martin Co,
Indiana [kj - per Minnie Parker Smith, as I recall] was the postmaster of
Indian Springs

Henry married (1) Lucy Jane ROWLANDS, daughter of
William C ROWLANDS and Sally CHAPMAN, on 9 Dec 1857 in Marietta, Washington Co.,
Ohio. Lucy was born 2 Oct 1840 in Noble or Washington Co., Ohio. She died 11 Aug
1878 in Martin Co., Indiana and was buried in Old Trinity Springs Cemetery,
Martin Co., Indiana.

CENSUS-1850: Waterford Township, Washington Co., Ohio

Lucy J Roland age 9 in household of her uncle Fredrick Chapman,
his wife Rebecca, and Fredrick's brother Parly

OTHER: Lucy's birth date of 2-Oct-1840 is calculated based on
information on her monument. I also have, and others have, 1-Aug-1840 as her
birth date, however if this was right, it's hard to image why they did have
38yrs and a few days on her monument. [kj]

OTHER: Frank Elam Parker was born in Watertown, Noble Co, Ohio
- as told to Kim Smith Jackson by his grandson. [There are both a city and a
township Watertown in Washington Co, Ohio on today's maps. I believe that he may
have been born in Washington Co, and it was his mother who was born in Noble Co,
Ohio - kj]

OTHER: Married in the bride's mother's home, per his daughter
Minnie Parker Smith. We have a picture where Minnie marked a window of the
house, saying she was also married in this room. [kj]

OTHER: When Frank's wife Jennie died, his daughter Ethel had
both him and his daughter Anna moved from Old Trinity Springs Cemetery to Spring
Hill Cemetery in Shoals, and buried his wife Jennie beside him. [per Minnie
Parker Smith told to Kim Smith Jackson]. So, Frank Parker has monuments in both
those cemeteries.

OTHER: The monument in Old Trinity Cemetery includes this
verse:

Rest dearest husband and father rest,

God called thee home He thought it best.

OTHER: His daughter Ethel said her father read everything he
could get his hands on, which wasn't much in those days. He would ride into
town from the farm every week to get the weekly paper.

OTHER: She was dedicated to teaching. She got her
doctorate from the University of Kentucky in Home Economics and taught there.
When she retired she traveled the world looking at other culture's educational
systems. On her death, a scholarship was created in her name.

OTHER: University of Wisconsin 1914

Indiana State Normal School 1915

University of Chicago 1916

Indiana State University B.A. 1917

Columbia University M.A. 1922

She was a Laura Spellman Rockefeller Fellow at Columbia in
Child Development & Parent Education

Ohio State University Ph.D. 1944

Head of the Department of Home Economics, University of
Kentucky, Lexington 1950

DEATH: Drowned in Indian Creek. [There is a lengthy
newspaper article that my father has. When her parents weren't home, she and
another girl who was staying the night, convinced the hired hand to take them
across the creek so they could go to a party. On the way back they apparently
capsized at bank of the creek as they were getting out of the canoe or raft, and
all three of them drowned. The article mentions that she was considered a local
beauty. - kj]
